DAVID DELUCA, WRITER
If it involves words, I can help you.
WORDS BUILD BRIDGES.
"How do I get my idea into your head?"
Everyone wants to be understood, but nobody can read your mind. Good writing solves this problem. It forges links between brains, paves trade routes for ideas, and builds bridges between distant worlds. In short, it gets an idea from one head to the next.
DAVID DELUCA IN A NUTSHELL
I translate thoughts, distill ideas, and build strong sentences.
Since 2012, I have helped entrepreneurs, fitness companies, college students, and athletes to tell their stories in writing. I'm creative, witty, and deeply committed to projects that help people to see value in life and discover the world.

MY STORY

EDUCATION
I grew up in Massachusetts and got a liberal arts education in Minnesota at St. Olaf College, where I also worked as a writing tutor. My degree is in philosophy.

WORK
Since graduation, I have worked as a researcher, ghostwriter, writer, and editor for multiple clients, the largest of which is Spartan Race.

PHILOSOPHY
Through my work, education and travel, I've learned that life is short, that ordinary people can do incredible things, and that the best way to learn is just to throw yourself into the unknown.

POLISHED, engaging, on-brand content
"I first asked David to work with our training department on some technical copy in the summer of 2015, and I was immediately impressed by his attention to detail. Since he started working full-time in our marketing department, I continued to enlist him on copywriting projects that would come up in the training department here and there. He consistently created polished, engaging, on-brand content. His work came in error-free and on time, and communication with him was smooth by phone, in person, and over email. Overall, David was a standout team member, and I'd gladly ask him for editorial help again."
